I agree with extending the lid to cover the entire enclosure, with a portion that opens on one side for you to get access. Then, mount a strip UV light and possibly 1 or 2 radiant heat panels (or lower wattage CHE’s) inside. You won’t be able to get the entire enclosure warm and humid without it being covered. You will then need to moisten the substrate a bit to provide humidity.
Open top enclosures don’t work well in a house, in cold climates, for tropical species like redfoots. They work OK in garages, basements, etc when the whole space can be kept warm and humid.
